What Have We Got So Far This Season?

We have some good experience on the road for some non-conference game.
We got a revenge win over the ORU my-number-is-so-golden-you-can't-read-it Eagles.
We start the conference season on the road against an undefeated team and end the first weekend tied for first place.

A decent start.

But the loss of Seibert reminds us of seasons past when a stocked cupboard looked so suddenly bare.  What looked like a sure thing in the bullpen now starts on Saturdays.  I thought Todd was going to end up like Phil (Can't Touch This) Stidham.  Truth be told, I still think he should be there.  What kind of baseball fan doesn't think he knows better than the coach, at least about something??  Dave Van Horn says, "There's no use in having somebody for the late inning if we can't get to the late innings."  And he generally seems to know better than me.  Quit laughing.

No matter how over rated Kentucky may or may not have been, winning the series down in that dump is big.  Look at the conference standings:  The team at the bottom of the West is the team with the best overall record, and the worst overall record in the East is in first place.  There may be plenty of near-.500 conference records by really good teams.

Now number 1 Vanderbilt comes to town.  There have been several series that were looked at a being as big, but I can't recall a regular season game being any bigger than Friday night's matchup of Schmidt and Price.  Probably means there'll be 25 runs scored...

See you this weekend!
